What's funny about that is I didn't even think about it being funny when I wrote it. A couple of years ago, I was down on the field during the awards ceremonies at IRI. The crowd was having a really great time celebrating the teams who were being given awards. When the Holy Cows came through the line, all of a sudden the place was filled with moos. It threw me off because they sounded like boos and I couldn't believe anyone would ever do that at one of the robotics competitions. As one of the mentors came through, I asked him if their team moos. He burst out laughing and said, "Yes, we moo." It was a great moment but a very surprising one.
